The Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati has developed a design process to help electric vehicle companies manufacture batteries and motors for different climatic and road conditions in India so that the efficiency of such vehicles increases and its overall maintenance cost is also reduced.
“Our design process methodology will reduce fuel consumption and improve mileage performance of electric vehicles. It will further result in reduced emissions and better battery durability without affecting manufacturing cost. It will reduce the running and maintenance cost of EVs,” Mulpuri LN Sai Krishna, a research scholar with the E-Mobility Lab, Department of Electronics and Electric Engineering, IIT G, told The Telegraph.
